The City of Winter Park is celebrating its 22nd Annual 4th of July Celebration Tuesday, July 4, from 9 a.m. to noon, in Central Park. Festivities will begin at 9 a.m. from the main stage with an “Oath of Allegiance” naturalization ceremony for 20 citizenship applicants. Mayor Steve Leary will then offer remarks and congratulate our new American citizens on their historic milestone. Wear your red, white and blue, bring a blanket or beach chair, and gather with family and friends to enjoy this Winter Park tradition.

The celebration will feature live patriotic music performed by the Bach Festival Choir and Brass, and the Americana Quartet. The exciting “Kid’s Zone” from 9 a.m. to noon will include carnival midway games with prizes, mini “touch-a-truck” area, train ride, inflatable slide, patriotic decoration station, and various games. A children’s bike parade from Morse Boulevard to Garfield Avenue (new route this year) will occur at 10:30 a.m. Free hot dogs, watermelon, slushy ice drinks and water will be available for all to enjoy, while supplies last. Help support the event vendors by purchasing chips and a soda to go with your hot dog.
